• Avionic Program Manager - Combat Rescue Helicopter

  • Oct 2015 - Nov 2016

  Lead the avionics organization in the modernization of the Sikorsky Blackhawk into a Rev G Combat Rescue Helicopter. Changes included new mission systems, GPS missile tracking, evacuee lift, lighting, power and virtually every system including software code developed using agile practices. Changes were coordinated with the training organization. I had senior Cost Account Managers as well as direct reports over every system area (Electrical, Comms, navigation, propulsion, software, defensive management, lab development, etc). The Avionics budget was $450M including material and there were over 100 staff touching my budget. Note: My tenure was brief due only to a significant health issue of a relative and I went to provide support. That has resolved and I am able to relocate again, if needed. Show less
